"We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. We worked day and night in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you." 1 Thessalonians 2:8-9 This blog is much more than our family and our crazy antics. After being overseas in Haiti for 4 years we prayed about coming back to the States and just still felt like God was going to use our family overseas...so here we go again. The big move to St. Vincent and the Grenadines and now the school growing and moving to Barbados. We just can't seem to rest until our family can love as many as we can to relationships with Christ. We always feel so blessed to meet the many people we get to serve with overseas, and of course love that you are reading with us as we serve in a new culture!

Kensington Caroline is here!

We feel so incredibly thankful to God for our little blessing! We are enjoying baby time! Kensington (from our favorite place Brice and I visited) Caroline (named from my great-grandmother) is such a sweet baby. She has already traveled over 3,000 miles in her first 3 weeks of life and never once complains or fusses. She is for sure our little missions traveler!

She was 3 weeks early and had a few things the doctors were concerned about, but keeps progressing and getting better. We received her social security card and birth certificate, so now just waiting for her passport to be able to travel back to Barbados.

For our family we always somehow have to keep things hopping. Brice tore his knee in a basketball game with 20year olds (I did warn him we aren't that young anymore before), so we have had his appointments. Then, Kensington had an extra hospital stay and some ongoing tests with her hip and heart the doctor is keeping an eye on that usually clears up in a few months.

We visited a few churches, camps, and mission teams in the area. Now we head to the NACC and then to several churches on the West Coast. Brice vetoed my camping in tents to California with a newborn, but we'll make it there! And then we head back on the plane home.

We still covet your prayers for future staff, the accreditation process, and students applying to come.

And we are so very thankful for the couples that taught at WISE this summer and watched over the campus!
